‘Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great.” Mark Twain

“Mark Twain’s quote speaks to the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who lift us up and encourage us to pursue our goals and dreams. According to Twain, people who belittle or dismiss our ambitions are “small” in character and do not truly have our best interests at heart.

On the other hand, people who are truly great – whether in terms of their personal accomplishments or their moral character – inspire us to reach our full potential and help us see the greatness within ourselves. These individuals are not threatened by the success of others, but rather celebrate it and seek to help others achieve their own goals.

Twain’s quote serves as a reminder to be discerning about the people we allow into our lives, and to seek out individuals who support and uplift us. By surrounding ourselves with positive, encouraging people, we can build a supportive network that helps us achieve our goals and realize our full potential.” (pi ai)

In summary, Twain’s quote encourages us to seek out individuals who inspire us to be our best selves and to avoid those who seek to belittle or undermine our ambitions.” (pi ai)
